- What it is for
- This is an information notice, not an application form. It explains the Department's legal authority to collect a person's personal identifiers (biometrics), describing why they may be collected, how they are collected, and how they may be used and disclosed.
- Who completes it
- No party lodges this form; it is an informational document provided to citizens and non-citizens (including travellers, visa applicants, immigration detainees and citizenship applicants) from whom personal identifiers may be collected.
- Information it collects (in general terms)
- As an information notice it does not itself collect data; it explains the categories of personal identifiers that may be collected (such as fingerprints, facial images, signatures, iris scans and other biometric measures) and the legal purposes and disclosure arrangements for that information.
- When it is used
- It is provided to inform a person about biometric collection under the Migration Act and Australian Citizenship Act, in situations such as travel through airports and seaports, visa or citizenship applications, and immigration detention.
